Introduction
Although Google would never reveal their exact ranking/indexing algorithm, it only makes sense that if you let them know about your content they are going t
o do a better job of indexing you, so that connecting your content with Google Plus, which is Google’s social network. This is going to lead to better indexing times, more authority/trust in Google, and an overall better relationship with Google.
How to Use Google+
It is free and all you need is a Google account.
The next thing you are going to want to do is add yourself as a contributor within your Google+ account. This is very easy to do and is done directly on your Profile page.
From there you will want to go to your About tab.
Scroll down to the Links section and you will see the Contributor field. This is where you will want to add any websites that you are actively working on. Click on the “Edit” link. Then you will want to “Add a Custom Link”. This will pop up a link editor. After you add your websites that you own, click “Save” and you are done. 🙂
Adding yourself as a contributor is a subtle way to make Google aware of websites that you are a content contributor of. This in essence allows Google to have insight into what sort of author you are. If you create quality engaging content, this is only going to benefit you and subsequently Google’s trust in your content will go up.
